> interesting ways I can use to get more track width once I get to the > board design. I "think" industry-standard minimum is 8mil between tracks so you can make them only so wide. A swing and/or roundabout when packages get smaller I'm wondering why they chose s g s g down the left side of the chip, as you'd expect ss gg would be better/easier for layout http://www.4pcb.com/trace-width-calculator.html 1A, 2oz board, 16mil / 0.4mm wide, about the width of a TSOP pin. There's around 32mil / 0.8mm space between TSOP pins, so (in theory) you could have traces 42mil / ~ 1mm wide to the pins, with 8mil between them. According to the above calculator that should give you current of 2A per trace, without tinning E&OE Joe ----- No virus found in this message.
